Random crits should ONLY be removed in legitimate competitive servers. Otherwise, you must adhere to the concept that TF2 is a casual game with casual game mechanics.

The speedrunning community is 72% trans.
They have been pushing hard to remove RNG from video games for some time.
They are actively retconning historical game criticism and claiming 'RNG-heavy games were never good and never liked' to an absurd degree.
I will not pretend to know why the trans cult acts as it does because I am not a member.
Genital mutilation is weird and I find it strange that you personally feel otherwise.

The only thing that needs to be fixed with crits is crit scaling. Crits should always just be a big, but rare occurrence to shake battle up. I don't want to see anymore games devolve into 100% crit chance, 2.3x crit multi, take another turn on crit, add seven energy to the power matrix on crit, time travel back to your initial battle health on two crits in a row, crit on crit, etc

Remember every big seethe you see from TF2bers stems from getting their epic pubstomp killstreaks ended
At the very least, random melee crits should be removed from some classes. There is no reason sniper should be able one-shot people who actually manage to get close to him. I would also remove crits from Enginneer, Medic, and possibly Demoman.

Don't remove random crits, but change them so that there's a 1% chance of it happening to make truly Rare High Moments instead of the current system, where if you just heal as a Medic you get a 50% chance to crit, or Soldiers with a Medic up their ass constantly getting tons of crits to continue their streak.

As someone into tabletop games, I can see too much randomness in each turn of combat. But that's specifically tabletop experience, where each random event means a player has to pick up and throw one or more dice. In video games, which can handle all that cleanly in the background, it's completely different. The overhead for randomness is much lower

They care too much about the small interactions to look at the big picture.
The big picture is that dying in tf2 is normal, and objectives are only a suggestion for how to play. What do you get if you win the match? Nothing. What happens if you lose? Nothing.
So there's no reason to invest so much of yourself into one match and every instance a crit occurs. Just have fun.

It's called being a tryhard. At a certain skill level and with a certain mindset people come to the conclusion that random crits hurt them more than help. Casual players don't experience that because they're dying way more often and there's not much of a difference between dying from a random crocket versus a non random one. But if you're uncle dane, dying becomes a huge deal and you don't want some bullshit influencing your experience in this highly competitive game called tf2

Because crits suck. If you're crunching out RPG battles it becomes a nonsense stat that doesn't need to exist because it statistically flattens out over the course of a long battle. In that case it's just dps stat bloat. In short term encounter cases it randomizes outcome to a degree that does not need to be randomizes if you're just looking for straight up skill expression. It has no reason to exist. Outside of actual skill expression of earning it via hitting an exposed weak spot. But as a dice roll it shouldn't exist.

Because the zoomers who started playing TF2 post MyM don't understand the soul that was behind old TF2, I would go as far to say that died out when the Uber update first dropped. It's why all the community servers that still exist for TF2 are such dogshit and there's always some gay (literally most of the time) drama or rules in them, the people running them have no idea what this game was like in it's prime. Every single time these bitches will whine about shit like Minisentries, or nerfing Sniper, or removing crockets, or whining about the scorch shot or some other shit and then turn around and bitch about modern games like Overwatch being as bad as they are I just have no idea how they miss the point so badly. If they had it their way this game would just be another Overwatch with shit getting nerfed and mangled every patch requiring you to relearn the game every time you stopped playing for a few months, instead of how it is now when you can just be playing with the same rules you were a year or two ago. This game was never about competitive or balance, it was always about the chaos and the silliness that comes with a game like TF2.

That is an actual problem with crits in general. Heavy is supposed to be a tank and tank several hits. It's stupid that you can easily bypass his 300 HP with crits, random or not.
I propose that Heavy should have a 50% resistance to crit damage, so a crit pipe only deals 150 damage instead of 300 and instantly killing him

Crits aren't anti-meta, they're anti-strategy. They invalidate not only optimal play, but literally having any kind of actual gameplan at all. If you can't have any idea of whether any attack from any range is going to instantly kill you or not, you can't make intelligence decisions.

Only real post. This happens to any game with a competitive community. Recently SC2 got a community driven balance team, and they neutered so many mechanics that is a completely different game now, yet all these changes meant to bring balance made the pro players switch to the older and more unbalanced predecessor as it has more skill expression. TF2 players will bitch and moan about Valve not paying enough attention, but that is one of the best things to happen to the game, balance changes more often remove fun mechanics than reign in broken ones.

>High crit is part of medics balance
Crits are intentionally anti-balanced as stated by valve themselves. Their inclusion was absolutely not rooted in trying to make the game more fair or balanced.
Also, yes, a medic caught alone shouldn't be able to do 195 damage with one attack, you literally nigger.

In strategy games, the random elements are shit like the map generating differently so that there's variety in matches, not your unit randomly dying to something it should have been able to easily kill because you just got unlucky and the server arbitrarily decided that you get to eat shit and lose through no fault in judgement or execution.

They nerfed the fucking caber because one of the 2 people left at valve that plays TF2 is a sniper main and he hated the fact that anyone was allowed to kill him. Random crits are transparently bad game design and you should kill yourself.

I flip flop so hard on random crits, because they are fun and funny, but at the same time don't really achieve their purpose of breaking stalemates since they reward you if you have dealt more damage in a short period of time. I guess it makes sense in a symmetrical game mode like 5cp, but with modes like Payload and A/D, the stalemates will last longer if the defensive team is the one getting slightly more damage since they can push the line forward and make life more hell for the attackers.
The argument that it allows for new players to kill veterans is laughable though, since it rewards the veteran more who can pump out more damage to begin with. The other side's argument of it being unhealthy for the game is laughable too, since it does serve a purpose, whether it achieves it is up to debate.
I dunno, I'll laugh when I get a crit pill on a heavy/medic pair but then seethe when I'm on the receiving end.

I recall reading about the development of street fighter 2 were the dev team just play tested in Arcades and nerfed any moves that were getting spammed too much or characters with absurd win streaks. People's opinions are dogshit after all, so win streaks are one of the only ways to actually tell what people are doing in game.

Yes it was. Medic never ever had a higher melee crit chance. Healing does count towards increasing crit chance, so medics would generally have high crit chance especially with melee, but not higher than a heavy or soldier or demo.
>Needles high RoF
True. Needle guns suck dick and always have. They need much higher ROF, to fly faster, and not arc nearly as hard as they currently do.

Well I did say in my post that I was talking about the old TF2 team and not the one guy who's managing the game right now. Although the game is far from unplayable in its current state. Stock loadouts are all viable, underpowered weapons can still be fun to roll with, there's no game-destroying meta that renders other classes/weapons obsolete. I think Valve did a good enough job, not perfect but it's miles better than your average power-creeped hero shooter.

redditors are bad and so die to random crits more than they kill with them, so they see them as bad.
Random crits are needed because of the way TF2 is designed. Because of the damage fall off, wide weapon spread and large health pools a lot of matchups are just number games. A medic has no chance against any half way competent player in a 1v1. Crits are needed in order for the game to not descend into damage trading and punish players for bad positioning. Valve essentially wants players to play the game like every mistake can be the end of you because with crits that's true.
I'm not saying it's a good design choice but it's clearly what they're going for. A scout could easily kill any lone sniper or medic up close but if they get too greedy and get to close they'll get one shot by their melee weapons. Crits encourage players to always try their best even if a battle seems unwinnable and on the other hand to never underestimate a weak class just because the numbers are in your favour.

Primary and Secondary weapons cap out at 12% chance to randomly crit.
Melee however caps out at 60%.
Combine that with both Damage and Healing counting towards inflating your crit rate and there you go.

You literally did not keep up with the competitive scene if you didn't remember the comp scene wanting to go to valve with proposed changes. Valve did them in a retarded way that not even the comp scene liked, but you cannot gaslight me into forgetting the talks leading up to MYM where many comp people (Including the comp lord B4nny) were talking about some of the changes they wanted in the game so the banlist was less necessary, especially with their end goal of wanting comp tf2 to be officially supported.
